Hey guys, got a loud buzzing from my old record player. all the wires appear to be properly secured and i can hear the music playing behind the buzzing. Any idea what direction i should be looking, or if this model record player is worth repairing? i did notice a burnt looking area on one of the fuses, but its still lighting up like all the rest

I strongly suggest that you unplug it, and have it looked at by a qualified person.
As with anything electrical, when not operating as it should, leaving the cord plugged in, can cause additional "problems" (sometimes very serious --like a fire !).
As for it's value, I don't have a clue--hopefully someone else will--

Value? $10.00 maybe. What you are refering to is a tube not a fuse. I suggest you unplug it and get it to a qualified repairman. As Ron stated it will only get worse. Probably, bad electrolytics are to blame but it is repairable.
